Partial means the feature exists in a limited form. Sprint predictions on competitor platforms typically cover race results only or use a simplified team-based pick rather than full P1-P10 position predictions. Comparison reflects publicly available feature information as of March 2026.
Built for friend groups, not strangers
The best F1 predictions happen in group chats and office kitchens. Podium Prophets gives that rivalry a proper home.
Your rules, not ours
Every league sets its own scoring. Want 10 points for an exact position? Done. Want to include sprint qualifying? Toggle it on. Want championship predictions worth something? Configure that too. Your league, your system.
Multiple leagues, one account
Join up to five leagues per season. One with your close friends, one with coworkers, one with your fantasy football group. Each league has separate standings and scoring rules.
Carry-forward, not zero
Someone forgets to submit? They get scored using their last real prediction, with a small penalty. Nobody tanks the standings just because they were busy on a Saturday afternoon.
Reminders before lockout
Optional email reminders before sessions close. Because the one friend who always forgets will still forget, but at least you gave them a nudge.
Season-long championship picks
Predict the driver and constructor champions alongside your weekend picks. It adds a full-season arc that keeps everyone engaged even when individual race weekends don't go their way.
Session analysis that no other prediction app has
Here's the thing. Every prediction game gives you a place to submit picks and a leaderboard. None of them help you make better picks. Podium Prophets includes the analysis tools that other prediction games don't — built by a fan who wanted them.
Race pace scatter
Compare driver and team race pace from practice sessions. See who genuinely has the speed versus who's on a low-fuel glory lap.
Long-run degradation
Stint-by-stint lap times across compounds. The data that actually predicts race order, because tyre management decides more races than qualifying position.
Team pace hierarchy
Where each team sits in the genuine pace order. Not the headline lap time, but the representative pace after filtering out outliers and context.
Qualifying breakdown
Q1, Q2, Q3 elimination analysis. Who extracted the most from their car, who benefited from a tow, and where the real qualifying hierarchy sits.
Telemetry lap comparison
Overlay two drivers' laps with speed traces and sector breakdowns. See exactly where time is gained and lost, corner by corner.
Circuit intelligence
Track demand profiles, team strength matchups, and driver extraction offsets. Know which teams suit this weekend before you commit your picks.
Session analysis tools are built into the app. Browse past weekends in the Archive to see them in action.
No catch
Free where it counts.
Predictions, private leagues, automatic scoring, leaderboards, and championship tracking are all free. No ads, no salary caps, no pay-to-win mechanics. The core prediction game that you and your friends actually use every weekend costs nothing. That's more than most competitors offer at any price.
Podium Prophets started as a passion project to replace a friend group's spreadsheet. The prediction experience that makes race weekends more fun will always stay free.
Every session, every weekend
Most prediction games only cover the race. Some add a sprint pick. Podium Prophets treats every scorable session as a prediction opportunity.
Qualifying
Predict the top 10 qualifying order. Who's going to nail the final Q3 lap? Only Podium Prophets lets you predict this.
Race
The main event. Pick your P1 through P10 finishing order based on pace data, strategy reads, and gut feeling.
Sprint Qualifying
Sprint weekends get their own qualifying prediction. A separate session, a separate set of points.
Sprint
Full P1-P10 sprint predictions. Not just picking a team. Full position-by-position accountability.
On competitor platforms, sprint predictions are typically simplified. F1 Predict and Superbru ask you to pick which team will score the most sprint points. GridRival folds sprint results into your fantasy team's score. Only Podium Prophets gives you a full P1-P10 prediction for every sprint and sprint qualifying session.
How Podium Prophets compares
Every platform has its strengths. Here is an honest look at where Podium Prophets overlaps and where it takes a different direction.
vs F1 Fantasy
fantasy.formula1.com
F1 Fantasy is a salary-cap team management game. You pick five drivers and two constructors within a $100M budget, then manage transfers and value fluctuations week to week. It's great if you enjoy the portfolio management angle. Podium Prophets is a different kind of game. You predict finishing positions directly. No budgets, no transfers, no chips. Just your knowledge of who's fast this weekend, scored against official results.
vs F1 Predict
f1predict.formula1.com
F1 Predict is the closest to what Podium Prophets does. You predict pole, podium, P4-P10, and fastest lap per race. The difference is scope and depth. Podium Prophets covers qualifying and sprint sessions too, not just race day. And Podium Prophets gives you session analysis tools to inform those predictions. F1 Predict's sprint coverage uses a simplified team-based pick rather than full position predictions.
vs GridRival
gridrival.com
GridRival is a polished fantasy app covering F1, NASCAR, IndyCar, and MotoGP with salary-cap leagues and a real-money Picks contest. It's the best option if you want fantasy motorsport breadth and are comfortable with paid entry contests. Podium Prophets focuses exclusively on F1, uses pure position predictions instead of salary-cap mechanics, and keeps the core prediction experience free.
vs Superbru
superbru.com
Superbru is a multi-sport predictor with a large community and a solid F1 game. You pick pole, top 10, and fastest lap, with a team-based sprint pick worth 3 points. Podium Prophets' key differences are dedicated qualifying predictions, full P1-P10 sprint predictions, configurable per-league scoring rules, and integrated session analysis. Superbru's advantage is its massive user base and native mobile apps.
